Thanksgiving- there are many traditions and expressions of this Holiday, but one common theme - one value. Gratitude. As we embark on a Friday before the Holiday season kicks into full throttle, please pause. 1) Embrace the chaos of family because that chaos may not always be there; 2) Remember those who do not have that chaos anymore and intentionally call them to add some chaos 😉; 3) Remember this is a hard time for a lot of people; 4) Embrace those around you; 5) Give more than you get; 6) Share love; 7) Swallow at least 2 bites of whatever horrible traditional dish there is; and 8) AND THEN THANK THAT YOU ARE ALIVE TO TELL ABOUT IT NEXT YEAR. Happy Holidays! Let the festivities begin and if you feel you need to headbutt anyone, start back on #1.

With Christmas approaching and the pressures of work mounting, it can be challenging to find time to relax and truly enjoy the season. Here are a few tips to balance the hustle of Christmas. 🍪Embrace the Spirit of Christmas by decorating your home, watch Christmas movies, listen to holiday music, or bake festive treats. 🎄Simplifying Christmas Preparations and try to avoid feeling overwhelmed, opt for simpler, less time-consuming Christmas tradition like fewer elaborate gifts or focusing on meaningful, small gestures that don’t take much time but still capture the Christmas spirit. 👨👩👧 Prioritise Quality Time with Loved Ones. Rather than trying to do everything, focus on time with family and friends, whether it's through virtual or in-person gatherings. These moments often become the highlight of Christmas 🎁Treat Yourself to Small Pleasures like a warm bath, a favourite Christmas treat, or even a cosy evening at home with loved ones can go a long way in helping people recharge and enjoy Christmas despite everything else going on. 🥳Set Realistic Expectations and accept that not everything has to be perfect. Embracing imperfections can make it easier to enjoy the small moments without feeling overwhelmed. While balancing work and Christmas can be tough, these tips can help people stay grounded allowing them to experience the warmth and joy of Christmas. How about you—have you found any personal ways to unwind and enjoy the festivities? #chritmastime #sendhelp #christmasiscoming

**Keeping the Festive Spirit Alive All Year Long** This weekend we had our branch holiday party at Rawhide. (WOW! The holiday lights are incredible.) Listening to the music and spending time with team mates felt like a warm hug, and it motivates me to be kinder, more grateful, and more generous. It reminded me of how the holiday spirit can inspire us to bring more positivity into our thoughts, words, and actions, helping us crush our goals with a joyful heart. But how do we keep that feeling all year? Here are some tips that work for me: 1. **Practice Gratitude Daily:** I start or end my day by mentally listing things I'm thankful for. Even challenges: they are an opportunity to SOLVE, to bring value to our partnerships. 2. **Stay Connected:** Spend time with friends, family, and colleagues who uplift me. 3. **Celebrate Small Wins:** I celebrate achievements, no matter how small. 4. **Create a Positive Environment:** I surround myself with people that make me happy. 5. **Give Back:** I engage in acts of kindness throughout the year. By integrating these into our lives, we can keep that warm, festive feeling alive all year round. Let's make every day as joyful and inspiring as the holiday season! 🎄✨ #KeepingInsuranceHuman #Positivity #Gratitude #Teamwork #Success #Mindfulness #HolidaySpirit

🎄 Merry Christmas from All of Us at LCR International 🎄 As the holiday season wraps us in its warmth, it’s the perfect time to reflect, recharge, and relish what truly matters. For those of us in fresh produce, it’s easy to stay focused on forecasts, supply chains, and next season’s goals. But today, let’s hit pause. Here’s our recipe for a joyful Christmas: 🍎 Savor the fruits of your labour (quite literally!) – Whether it’s a vibrant fruit platter or a festive veggie dish, celebrate the abundance this industry brings to tables worldwide. 🎁 Give the gift of presence – Set aside the emails and focus on quality time with loved ones. They’re your most valuable team. ✨ Find inspiration in the small things – A crisp winter morning, the laughter of family, or the perfect cup of hot chocolate can recharge you more than you think. As specialists in executive search, we understand the drive to excel, but for the next couple of days, we hope you’ll trade deadlines for downtime and ambition for appreciation. May your Christmas be filled with peace, love, and a renewed sense of purpose for the new year ahead. From our team to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎅🎄

The Holidays are upon us, and many workplaces are starting their Holiday Party Planning. They are decorating, planning Secret Santa or Yankee Swap events, thinking about festive foods and otherwise getting into the Holiday Spirit. But what about your Team Members who don't celebrate Christmas? People like me, who celebrate Hannukah? Or Eid? Or Kwanzaa? Or the many other Festivals which occur between American Thanksgiving and the middle of January? Or the Team Members who observe Christmas, but don't celebrate it in the same way? Are your Holiday Festivities inclusive of their way of Observance and/or Celebration? Or is your company leaning heavily into the Christian or Secular Christmas Celebrations? This is a great opportunity for everyone to learn about other Holidays, and their traditions. Inclusion is growth and making your Team stronger. Happy Holidays to those who celebrate, and respect to those who observe their Holidays.

🎅 Family Moments this Christmas 🎅 The magic of Christmas is all about family, traditions, and creating memories that last a lifetime. On Christmas Eve, I had the honour of playing Santa for my two young sons as we prepared for the big night. Reindeer food in hand, they were so excited to make sure Santa and his reindeer knew exactly where to land! Moments like these remind me what this season is truly about. It’s great seeing how much they enjoyed it and how excited they were. Taking a step back from the hustle and bustle of life, spending time with my family makes everything else fall into perspective. It’s these special, fleeting moments that motivate me to work hard and build a future where we can enjoy more of them. As we wind down from the festivities and come into a new year, I hope you’ve all had a chance to soak up some family time, share a few laughs, and make your own magical memories that you can cherish forever! From our family to yours, here’s to cherishing what matters most. How did you spend your Christmas Eve?

Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to have the ‘perfect’ Christmas? It’s a little messed up… Christmas can bring so much joy, but it can also can create an awful lot of unnecessary stress - especially when it comes to our bank balance…. The pressure to spend money on presents, decorations, and throw flawless celebrations can feel overwhelming. But what if I told you that it doesn’t have to be stressful? The truth is you don’t have to overspend to create beautiful settings & you can actually turn festive stress into joy with a few simple shifts. 1️⃣ Focus on WHY you’re celebrating – What does this season mean to you? Is it your faith, family time, or time to be grateful? Reconnecting with this can really ‘ground’ you. 2️⃣ Celebrate WHO you’re with – The people you love don’t need lavish gifts to feel your care. You know what I am going to say - Your presence is the real present. 3️⃣ Let the WHY & WHO guide your WHAT & HOW – Most of the time, sustained joy is more about the memories we create, the meaningful moments & not material things. Remember, you can create a Christmas that feels completely aligned with who you are without the stress. Let go of the pressure to spend, and instead focus on the joy, connection, and love that truly matters. On a scale of 1-10 how stressed are you feeling about Christmas this week?
